When you consider the loss of Nick Collins, Burnett with a club cast and Mike Neal is still on the sidelines, Capers is kind of limited in what he can do.
Hopefully Neal is back this week, and Burnett should be getting that cast off soon. That will give Capers a bit more flexibility, which will help improve this defense.
Yes I agree...But some people look at how the D was last year and expect it to be the same this year..
They forget about the injuries, and loss of Jenkins...
Collins out is a HUGE loss, and we cant replace Jenkins, so in my view those two players are the real issue with the defense..Jenkins provided the pass rush in the middle that allowed BJ to get pressure as well and for Hawk to slide in...Collins was able to direct the players in the back and that helped...
It is all connected..
No pass rush up front, so q/b and wr have better success..Missing our best player in the secondary those wr will have a easier time to get open
But it must be Capers cuz he sucks?
